Technology Analyst Apprenticeship 2025
Annual Salary: £24,000 + benefits
Getting qualified. It's a huge achievement that can completely change your prospects – but it’s not always open to everyone, whether that's due to the cost of university or the timing not being right. But with our Higher Apprenticeship, all that can change. Here at Barclays we offer a world-class programme that provides you with a permanent, full-time job with a competitive salary from day one -all whilst gaining a university-level professional qualification at the same time. Whether you're a school-leaver looking for alternative options to the traditional university route or you're someone thinking differently about your future, we'll help you to build an extraordinary career at Barclays, no matter your background.
Why a Barclays Apprenticeship?
You’ll get the opportunity to earn whilst working towards a Digital Technology Solutions Apprenticeship, a perfect blend of theoretical learning and real-life practical work whilst on a full-time salary in a permanent job. A unique chance to get a professional qualification without the student loan, all whilst getting years of work experience under your belt. Due to the evolving nature of Apprenticeships, a new Apprenticeship might become available and if deemed more relevant to your role, we'll change the Apprenticeship before you start.
We’ve spent 11 years perfecting the support that you’ll receive on our Apprenticeship programme. From day one, you’ll be assigned a Programme Support Manager matched to your needs and background, and together with your People Leader, they’ll support you as an individual. We’ll also match you to an expert in your specialist subject, ready to share their knowledge.
The Apprenticeship route gives you the opportunity for self-discovery and helps you to explore different career paths. With over 325 years of expertise in Banking, Barclays operates in over 40 countries, employing over 80,000 people to help move, lend, invest and protect money for customers and clients worldwide. Giving you endless opportunities to network and discover what makes you tick.
Our programme is open to anyone, no matter your background or your age. So you’ll be joining an Apprenticeship cohort who are from all different walks of life, whether that’s school leavers starting their career, ex-military wanting to kick-start a career in the corporate world to parents wanting to return to work after having time off.
Technology at Barclays
Why build a career in Technology in our global business? Because this is where some of the industry’s biggest innovations were born – and you could create the next.

You’ll be following our innovative learning programme which includes on-the-job training and valuable hands-on experience.
Our Technology Apprenticeship is the perfect option if you want a rewarding technology career that isn't just focused on writing code. Even if you have no technology experience, your university studies will equip you with the foundations of programming, data analysis and technology and your role at Barclays will enable you to apply that to the real world. Whether you're a Business Analyst focusing on analysing and presenting data to stakeholders, or you're a Project Manager supporting developers to build and launch a new app. If you're a problem solver by nature and communication skills come naturally to you, this programme is the perfect way to launch your career in tech.
Are you eligible?
First, you’ll need the right qualifications. For the Technology Analyst Apprenticeship in Knutsford you’ll need 3 A Levels (or equivalent) at BCC.
Beyond that though, we’re also looking for commitment and enthusiasm. Our Apprenticeships place deep investment in you as an individual. That means we need you to match that commitment: you’ll turn up every day ready to work hard, push yourself, and think differently about what you’re capable of. You’ll have the backing of a global bank, and you’ll rise to that expectation.
To apply for our apprentice programme you must meet the Government's apprentice funding requirements, and have the legal right to work in the UK for the duration of the apprentice programme. We are not able to provide sponsorship for our apprentice programme.
Working in Knutsford
Set in a stunning 64-acre site, Barclays Radbroke campus in Knutsford, Cheshire, is a tech hub like no other. The campus has tennis courts, gardens and even bee hives, as well as the latest in technology systems, equipment, and development.
